A specially-crafted plaque with a PBA ball attached in the middle will be handed to the 37-year-old player widely acknowledged as the league’s Iron Man for not missing a single game in his entire 15-year career.
The Kings are playing their first game in the season-opening conference after winning the Governors’ Cup championship last April.
During the title-clinching win in Game 6, Tenorio exploded for 30 points to help the Kings finish off the Meralco Bolts, 103-92.
The championship was the seventh in Tenorio’s career which began in 2006 when the playmaker out of Ateneo was selected in the first round (No. 4 overall) by San Miguel.
